The sea in its area has an average depth of 60 ft. Underwater it's full of coral reefs and rock formations in several shapes, resembling deer, brains, mushrooms, leaves. Above the water are found diverse species like the Nicobar pigeon, flying fox, mangrove monitor lizards and more. Ko Huyong has the widest and longest beach in the park, but the park strictly prohibits any tourists from landing on Ko Similan as the beach is a site where turtles come to lay eggs.
